Implementation of Contract or Grant

After a partner's bid is solicited, evaluated, and awarded, the contract process also includes:

• Modification of existing contracts. Increase in budget amount or change in scope of services requires a modification to an existing agreement if over the contract’s 10% contingency amount.
• Renewal of existing contracts. Contract renewal must be approved by one of our Commissions and pass through a certification process.
• Contract monitoring and evaluation. Our fiscal and compliance monitoring program ensures the financial health of nonprofit organizations and promotes nonprofit sustainability.
• Contract payment. We use the Contracts Administration Reporting and Billing On-line (CARBON) system where partners can submit Program reports as a measurement of work completed, and invoices for review and approval prior for payment. Access to CARBON is granted by OCM.
